During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $2 million, which is reported in impairments and loan loss reserves (recoveries), net, related to two MOBs classified as held for sale. The Company wrote down the two properties’ aggregate carrying value of $13 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $11 million.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to one SHOP asset classified as held for sale, which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations. Following a reduction in the expected sales price of the SHOP asset occurring in the second quarter of 2021, the Company wrote down its carrying value of $20 million to its fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $16 million.

The fair values of the impaired assets were based on forecasted sales prices, which are considered to be Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s forecasted sales prices are typically determined using an income approach and/or a market approach (comparable sales model), which rely on certain assumptions by management, including: (i) market capitalization rates, (ii) comparable market transactions, (iii) estimated prices per unit, (iv) negotiations with prospective buyers, and (v) forecasted cash flow streams (lease revenue rates, expense rates, growth rates, etc.). There are inherent uncertainties in making these assumptions. For the Company’s impairment calculation as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach and utilized comparable market transactions and negotiations with prospective buyers.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $37 million ($36 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations) related to nine SHOP assets, one senior housing triple-net asset and one MOB as a result of being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value of $200 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $163 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $87 million ($82 million of which is reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations) related to 28 SHOP assets, 5 senior housing triple-net assets, 2 MOBs, and 1 undeveloped MOB land parcel as a result of being classified as held for sale and wrote down their aggregate carrying value of $424 million to their aggregate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of $337 million.

For the Company’s impairment calculations during the nine months ended and as of September 30, 2020, the Company’s fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach and utilized prices per unit ranging from $33,000 to $300,000, with a weighted average price based on relative fair value of $136,000.

When testing goodwill for impairment, if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

Following the disposition of the Company’s remaining senior housing triple-net and SHOP assets in September 2021, the Company performed an impairment assessment to evaluate the fair value of its reporting units as of September 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a $22 million goodwill impairment charge reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations to reduce the associated goodwill balance to zero as no assets remained in the reporting units associated with the senior housing triple-net and SHOP portfolios as of the assessment date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a $29 million goodwill impairment charge reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations, $7 million of which was recognized during the second quarter of 2021, as the fair value of the remaining assets based on forecasted sales prices was less than the carrying value of the assets, including the related goodwill as of the assessment date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the assets within each of the Company’s other reporting units was greater than the respective carrying value of the assets and related goodwill, and as a result, no impairment loss was recognized with respect to the other reporting units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, no goodwill impairment loss was recognized.

These fair value estimates primarily relied on a market approach, utilizing comparable market transactions, forecasted sales prices, and negotiations with prospective buyers. These estimates are considered to be a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to inherent uncertainties.

In conjunction with the Company establishing a plan during the year ended December 31, 2020 to dispose of all of its SHOP assets and classifying such assets as discontinued operations, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that it would no longer realize the future value of certain deferred tax assets generated by the net operating losses of its taxable REIT subsidiary entities. Accordingly, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $33 million as of December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $36 million.
